I sent this unit back. blew out after a month. read the Onkyo reviews they don't seem to be getting any better

if you are trying to use its online feature (radio, streaming audio, remote etc) it is better off to use a Apple TV or XBOX.Onkyo online stuff is not quite convenient to use (slow and lagging). i stop playing with it after a few weeks. hope this helps : )

Afraid I didn't care for the wireless at all. Went back to connecting the speakers with wires. Still not satisfied with the surround sound. I had a much cheaper unit at one time that gave so much better surround sound.

You buy the optional wireless adapter, plug it into the usb port in the front of the receiver and it will recognize it. You'll have to go theough the setting to setup unless your wireless have no password.

I agree with everyone else, the internet-based apps are a bit laggy and cumbersome when trying to control them through the remote control. Furthermore, you will need to purchase an adapter in order to take advantage of the wireless capabilities. It might be cheaper to just purchase or use an old router that you can install DD-WRT on, and create a wireless extension so that you can plug the receiver directly into the router. This is what I did instead of purchasing the adapter.

It does have to be plugged in. Nowhere in the advertising does it say wireless.

On it's own, it doesn't have wireless connection, or Ethernet connection.But maybe you can connect it through a PC that will server you for this purpose, and that will be connect to the network.

No, wireless just means no wires. That could refer to wifi, Bluetooth, or even cellular data for wireless. In the case of this unit, wireless means wifi. It connects to your home network via wifi, and you steam audio to it over the network. I use airplay (Apple) streaming, but it is also compatible with other network streaming methods.

I use the Ethernet but I am quite sure that it can be use wireless you may have to just type in the connection number and the name of the link.

I don't know the exact details. The wireless system lies within these devices. One is a sender and the other is a receiver. Similiar to a TV remote control.

The system is wireless - however, we did not connect it to our computer network at all. It works without the computer network.

You need your computer to set it up. After it is configured it can be off. Your wireless network is all that need be on.

There is nothing special about the Wi-Fi. It will work just like any other Windows computer. You should have a name for the Wi-Fi. Open your wireless network configuration and look for the name. Select the name and enter a password if you were given one. This is all you should need to do.

Heck if I know. Seems kinda long run. That's what the wifi is for. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. I'm not too savvy on this technology.

I have looked at the user's guide and see no reference to it having wireless capabilities.

Does not operate on wifi. It operates on a less used and wide frequency that wireless phones use. It has a couple of different channels to select from to avoid interference. I have 3 in different locations around the house and workshop and no problems other trying to use one at extreme distances then, like a wireless phone, static ensues.

It connects to the phone line, which then connects to the wireless base unit. It doesn't matter if it is a wired phone or wireless as long as it can be connected to the phone line.

Thank you for the response! Absolutely correct, feed it a wireless signal and you are good to go!

it is not wireless capable on it's own. You connect it to your router with an ethernet cable.
